US Nazi leader Arthur Jones is the sole Republican candidate running for a seat in Chicago

HEs the former head of the US Nazi Party. Hes a proud Holocaust denier and stridently anti-Jew. Hes poised to become the Republican nominee Well first of all, Im running for Congress not the chancellor of Germany. All right. To me the Holocaust is what I said it is: Its an international extortion racket,Jones told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Jones is attracting a lot of attention for a Republican nominee for the 3rd Congressional District seat representing part of Chicago and its suburbs.

As a Republican candidate, hes standing unopposed.

Hes also a proud Nazi, with a long history of racist and white-supremacist activities.

His website makes his position absolutely clear.

It asserts the holocaust (the Nazi extermination of Jews in World War II) was a lie.

It encourages xenophobia, racism and hate.

It lauds the supremacy of his version of Christianity.

Jones is 70. Hes a retired insurance salesman. So far, he has failed every bid for office hes attempted since the 1970s.

Hes tried for the 3rd Congressional District seat eight times now.

This time, however, he feels he is in with a chance.

When polls open in the Illinois primary on March 20, hell be the only Republican candidate on the ballot.

And given the fact that Ive got no opposition in the primary, OK, I win that one by default all right, Jones told the Sun-Times.

All that stands between him and Washington is an opposing Democrat candidate.

This will either be sitting Representitive Dan Lipinski, or his challenger Marie Newman.

Its a seat that has traditionally been held by a Democrat.

So Jones still faces an uphill battle.

But the strident Republican feels the winds of change are blowing in his direction.

He says he voted for President Trump despite him having surrounded himself with hordes of Jews, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Jones says he is a former head of the US Nazi Party. He now leads a group calling itself the America First Committee.

Membership in this organisation is open to any white American citizen of European, non-Jewish descent, he told the Sun-Times.

But Jones candidacy is not endorsed by the Republican party.

Hes only there because hes the last Republican candidate standing. Nobody else was willing to tackle the safe Democrat seat. And he cannot be forced off the ballot.

The Illinois Republican Party has distanced itself from Jones, saying in a statement that their chapter and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones ... We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office.

Holocaust denier running for Congress has no opponents in Republican primary

Like most candidates running for Congress, Arthur Jones has a campaign website.

It outlines the Republican candidates educational background, stance on issues and how to donate to his campaign to represent Illinois 3rd Congressional District.

It also lays out Joness unapologetically racist and anti-Semitic views.

In a section called Holocaust? Jones describes the atrocities as a racket and the biggest, blackest, lie in history. Under another tab titled Flags of Conflict, he lists the Confederate flag first and describes it as a symbol of White pride and White resistance and the flag of a White counter revolution.

And in his most recent blog post dated Aug. 24 Jones rails against Radical Leftists and blames them for starting racial violence that had roiled Charlottesville about two weeks earlier. Heather Heyer, 32, a protester at a white supremacist rally, died after a driver rammed a car into a crowd of demonstrators. A self-professed neo-Nazi has been charged with first-degree murder in the incident. Jones painted the death as an accident.

Despite his views, Jones is all but certain to become the GOP nominee in one of Illinoiss most prominent congressional districts one that includes parts of Chicago and several suburbs to the west and southwest. Jones is running unopposed in the Republican primary; the deadline for candidates to file was in early December.

His chances of winning the seat are extremely slim. The district is rated safely Democratic, according to Ballotpedia, and two Democrats are facing off: Marie Newman and incumbent Daniel Lipinski. An independent candidate, Mat Tomkowiak, withdrew from the race.

Still, even getting this far in the race is a new milestone for Jones. Over three decades, he has unsuccessfully thrown his hat into the ring for the 3rd District seat seven times, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

When Sun-Times reporter Frank Main drove to Lyons, Ill., to track down Jones, the candidate was no less vocal about his extreme views.

Well first of all, Im running for Congress not the chancellor of Germany, all right? Jones told Main. To me, the Holocaust is what I said it is: Its an international extortion racket.

Jones also told the newspaper that he was once a leader in the American Nazi Party and now leads the America First Committee an organization whose membership is open to any white American citizen of European, non-Jewish descent.

Jones did not immediately respond to interview requests Sunday afternoon. Its unclear how he arrived at the opinion that the Holocaust, a systematic genocide in which an estimated 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazi regime, was a sham.

Hes a Nazi, Republicans Warn, but Hes Probably Going to Be Their Nominee for Congress

Arthur Jones, a Holocaust denier described as a Nazi by the Illinois Republican Party, is poised to win the Republican primary in the states Third Congressional District. He is running unopposed, all but guaranteeing he will soon be the official Republican candidate for the House of Representatives.

Theres no way in the world they can knock me off the ballot, said Mr. Jones, 70, who has unsuccessfully sought the nomination five times. His campaign website has a section devoted to conspiracy theories about the Holocaust, which he called nothing more than an international extortion racket.

The Republican primary in the district, a Democratic stronghold that includes part of Chicago and its southwestern suburbs, is on March 20. A spokesman for the Illinois Republican Party said it had difficulty recruiting anyone to run against Mr. Jones because it is a very Democratic district.

The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones, the Illinois Republican Party chairman, Tim Schneider, said in a statement. We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the Third Congressional District.

Besides Mr. Jones himself, few say he stands a chance of winning the general election in November. A Republican has not held the seat since 1975.

The district has been represented by Daniel Lipinski since 2005 and before that was represented by his father, Bill Lipinski, since 1993.

Daniel Lipinski, 51, said Mr. Jones does not reflect this Congressional district or its values.

Art Joness ideas strike at the heart of our belief as Americans that everyone deserves equal treatment, he said in a statement. His bigoted and anti-Semitic beliefs do not belong in Congress.

Mr. Jones is a longtime fixture of the white supremacist movement in the Midwest and a former member of the American Nazi Party, according to Mark Pitcavage, an expert on extremism at the Anti-Defamation League. Mr. Pitcavage said Mr. Jones has been around forever.

He was a far-right student activist at the University of Wisconsin, where he said he edited a conservative newspaper and attended meetings of the Young Republicans and a National Socialist group. In 1976, he ran for mayor of Milwaukee as a member of the National Socialist White Peoples Party. (Mr. Jones received about 5,000 votes in the nonpartisan primary, finishing fourth.)

He has previously run for the Republican nomination in the Third District, in 1998, 2006, 2008, 2012 and 2016. But he has never won.

In 2016, the State Board of Elections removed him from the race after the Republican Party challenged the legitimacy of several hundred signatures on his nomination petition. In 2006, he lost the nomination to a former professional clown, Mr. Pitcavage said.

Running for public office is a strategy white supremacists have used since at least 1980 to raise their profile within the movement or spread propaganda into the mainstream, Mr. Pitcavage said.

Some, like the Ku Klux Klan leader and one-time aspiring Louisiana politician David Duke, have actually believed they could launch a political career. But Mr. Pitcavage called that extremely rare.

This is something that white supremacists do theyll try to find these places where they can run unopposed or nearly unopposed so they can try to get the nomination, he said. Its very opportunistic. They usually do it under the Republican Party but sometimes they do it as Democrats, too.

Mr. Jones declined to say whether he identifies as a Nazi. He described himself instead as a longtime Republican who stands shoulder to shoulder, philosophically, with President Trump. He called his critics in the Illinois Republican Party an insufficiently conservative bunch of wimps.

Mr. Jones said he did not want to focus on this Holocaust nonsense and planned instead to campaign on issues of war and peace and economic security, including immigration. But in an interview, he spoke at length about his hostility toward Jews and nonwhite people.

While struggling, with increasing exasperation, to turn off a cellphone that kept ringing as he spoke to a reporter what is it with this! he exclaimed Mr. Jones explained his belief that what we call civilization today is a product for the most part of white genius.

I dont believe in this doctrine of racial equality, he said. Go out in nature and you dont find equality anywhere. You found the leaders and you find the led. You find the predator and you find the prey. There is no such thing as equality.

As mentioned in other posts, hopefully, this is the dregs of a now dying age-group, who sadly were brain-washed towards the end of WWII by Nazi idealism's, etc etc, similar to Islam in many ways some may say....

The positive side of this is that the real agenda is revealed, that would lie behind all policy supported by such folks.

But let us not blame the Nazi's completely here either....They were following the guidelines as set-out by both British & US-of-A eugenics research, or what's now called Family Planning Centers...

Only selfish & greedy people don't understand the concept of equality...It's not about equal distribution-of-wealth within a society, it's about treating people with respect...

And you know what ?...Manners & a little respect don't cost anything either, & yet deliver "good" more powerful than any money could buy.

Another Liberal political drive-by which is the classic hallmark of the party!

If we are to believe that these reports from Liberal news desks are true, then by the same token, all the reports about Obama being an Anti-American closet Muslim who wasn't born in America must also be true!

Yes PowerStroker, we have all had enough of this Liberal fake news bullshit...

Clearly you are not following my standard of legitimate mainstream sources. I give you a snippet from Wikipedia about George, who was born to a Jewish family and not likely to sympathize with the Nazis:

Early life and educationSoros was born in Budapest in the Kingdom of Hungary to a well-to-do non-observant Jewish family, who, like many upper-middle class Hungarian Jews at the time, were uncomfortable with their roots. Soros has wryly described his home as a Jewish antisemitic home.[24] His mother Erzsébet (also known as Elizabeth) came from a family that owned a thriving silk shop. His father Tivadar (also known as Teodoro) was a lawyer[25] and had been a prisoner of war during and after World War I until he escaped from Russia and rejoined his family in Budapest.[26][27] The two married in 1924. Tivadar was an Esperantist writer and taught Soros to speak Esperanto in his childhood.[28] In 1936 Soros's family changed their name from the German-Jewish Schwartz to Soros, as protective camouflage in increasingly antisemitic Hungary.[29][30] Tivadar liked the new name because it is a palindrome and because of its meaning. In Hungarian, soros means "next in line," or "designated successor"; in Esperanto it means "will soar."[31]

Soros was 13 years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.[32] Jewish children were barred from attending school by the Nazis, and Soros and the other schoolchildren were made to report to the Judenrat ("Jewish Council") which had been established during the occupation. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis: "The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper.... I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, "You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported."[33][34]

Soros did not return to that job; his family purchased documents to say that they were Christians, thereby allowing them to survive the war. Later that year at age 14, Soros posed as the Christian godson of an official of the collaborationist Hungarian government's Ministry of Agriculture, who himself had a Jewish wife in hiding. On one occasion, rather than leave the 14 year old alone, the official took Soros with him while he inventoried a rich Jewish family's estate, though Soros did not take part. Tivadar not only saved his immediate family but also many other Hungarian Jews, and George would later write that 1944 had been "the happiest [year] of his life," for it had given him the opportunity to witness his father's heroism.[35][36] In 1945, Soros survived the Siege of Budapest in which Soviet and German forces fought house to house through the city.

In 1947, Soros immigrated to England and became a student at the London School of Economics.[37] While a student of the philosopher Karl Popper, Soros worked as a railway porter and as a waiter. Soros received £40 from a Quaker charity.[38] In a discussion at the Los Angeles World Affairs Council in 2006, Alvin Shuster, former foreign editor of the Los Angeles Times, asked Soros, "How does one go from an immigrant to a financier? ... When did you realize that you knew how to make money?" Soros replied, "Well, I had a variety of jobs and I ended up selling fancy goods on the seaside, souvenir shops, and I thought, that's really not what I was cut out to do. So, I wrote to every managing director in every merchant bank in London, got just one or two replies, and eventually that's how I got a job in a merchant bank."[39] That job was an entry-level position in Singer & Friedlander.

Soros earned a Bachelor of Science in philosophy in 1951, and a Master of Science in philosophy in 1954, both from the London School of Economics.

You always did lack the skills to "read between the lines"... Thank you for proving my post PowerStroker! Soros was not only in the SS, he admits to being a lying deceitful piece of shit from childhood on!

Oh and Rastus, it's going to be another 6 years and 10 months...

Seems to me Soros likes to play both sides of the fence! People like that deserve what they get!

They have a name for people like that PowerStroker, it's called being a two faced, low down and dirty snake in the grass!

Did you fail to see anything wrong with this,

Fuck your minority bullshit... Tired of hearing it... Something was happening back then that no-one is talking about and instead you just babble off some more bullshit liberal nonsense as usual... Tired of it, everyone is tired of it! You'd think you would have learned after the last electoral bitch slapping your party got!

Now the bottom line here is that Soros was playing the fence, like most Nazi Jews like him they got caught and it cost them. No one want's to talk about the unpleasant truth - just like no one wants to talk about the unpleasant truth that the Clinton Family is also two faced and low down!

Tired of all this BS from the looney liberal left, it's getting ridiculous..

3.Something was happening back then that no-one is talking about and instead you just babble off some more bullshit liberal nonsense as usual... Tired of it, everyone is tired of it!

4.You'd think you would have learned after the last electoral bitch slapping your party got!

5.Now the bottom line here is that Soros was playing the fence, like most Nazi Jews like him they got caught and it cost them.

6.No one want's to talk about the unpleasant truth - just like no one wants to talk about the unpleasant truth that the Clinton Family is also two faced and low down!

LOL !

R1. Searching-out the truth / facts, (& not taking miss-interpretations of possible quotes as truth) is everyone's business, not a minorities. Maybe the real issue here are the lies printed in the press to deceive people. Your media is disgraceful, & should be held accountable & prosecuted for bullshitting the public, & deformation-of-character of innocent people.

R2. It makes for interesting reading for the forum ! Some good laughs too, if you don't take it too seriously. I mean really, where's Stoma ?...His contributions are sometimes missed.

R3. What was happening then is loosely called ethnic cleansing now-days, along with enslavement, & violation of every-known basic human right, in the name of the Fuhrer...Just like what Mr.Trump is allowing to happen in your country right now. ( "It's hard to see the forest through the trees" )....

R4. PowerStroker would better reply to this one...

R5. Lost for words here...How do you reply to a statement like this ?...

R6. All these people are ! Every politician is self-serving & ruthless. You have to be ruthless to want the job, & ruthless to get it...

Jimi Hendrix ( RIP) put forward a solution to all the worlds horrors, in one little statement, that will always hold true IMO. It goes something like this....

"When the power-of-love becomes greater than the love-of-power, we shall have peace".

Oh great... PowerStrokers living up the easy life at spoon feeding school and Rastus is back at his campaign for world peace...

If PowerStroker didn't have time for this shit, PowerStroker shouldn't have opened pandoras box with the swastika sticker on it....

Thread title is "Another Republican Nazi, haven't we had enough of this yet?"... But that's okay, because the target is a Republican so no issues comparing him to Hitler, when in reality it's Obama and the Democrats who are the Nazi's... You think Obama's buddy Farrakhan has any love for the Jews? Did Obama have any love for the Jews? Wasn't it Trump who acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?

Who are the REAL Nazi's here PowerStroker? Who is it that really hates the Jews in todays day and age? Democrats and Muslims?

While earlier Jewish immigrants from Germany tended to be politically conservative, the wave of Eastern European Jews, starting in the early 1880s, were generally more liberal or left-wing, and became the political majority.[1] Many of the latter came to America with experience in the socialist, anarchist, and communist movements as well as the Labor Bund, emanating from Eastern Europe. Many Jews rose to leadership positions in the early 20th century American labor movement, and helped to found unions that played a major role in left-wing politics and, after 1936, in Democratic Party politics.[1] For most of the 20th century since 1936, the vast majority of Jews in the United States have been aligned with the Democratic Party. Towards the end of the 20th century, and at the beginning of the 21st century, Republicans have launched initiatives to woo American Jews away from the Democratic Party.
